    The Haber-Bosch Process and Virginia Woolf.

    To start, Beth talks about the huge impact of the Haber-Bosch process. (Sorry for mispronunciations) (N2) +3(H2) —> 2(NH3) An equation most people study at school without being taught about it’s dramatic history intertwined with both life and death. This deceptively simple equation may be the reason you’re alive. After this Lizzie explores the life of one of the most amazing writers of all time, Virginia Woolf. Through three of her many amazing writings, Lizzie demonstrates Virginia Woolf's incredible foresight, revolutionary writing style, and ideas that are so modern that it is easy to forget they were written by a woman who was born 138 years ago. If you would like to get in contact, you can email us at: interested.podcasts@gmail.com  or find us on Instagram and at facebook  @interested.podcasts  links to sources: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/fritz-habers-experiments-in-life-and-death-114161301/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/haber-bosch-process https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/07/ammonia-renewable-fuel-made-sun-air-and-water-could-power-globe-without-carbon
